AUD/USD Technical Analysis: Aussie near daily lows - 0.7400 target still on

AUD/USD bear is on hold for the 6th consecutive day as bulls are creating a bullish pullback.
AUD/USD is evolving in a bull channel with a rising 200-period simple moving average (SMA) suggesting bullish momentum. The 50 SMA crossed below the 100 SMA suggesting that the market is in pullback mode. Targets to the upside are located near 0.7380 and 0.7407 May 8 low.
A sustained bear breakout below 0.7294 would invalidate the bullish bias.
